I am the Chancellor and Vice President of the University of Illinois Springfield. I served in senior leadership roles at two public regional universities prior to my arrival at UIS.

You can put it on the board!
I went to see our Stars Women's Volleyball team play last night and left the game feeling a lot less lonely! Why? Because I just happened to sit down behind UIS student, Mihai Smarandescu from Chicago and within a few minutes discovered that, like me, he is a dedicated White Sox fan! In a land where everybody else either lives and breathes the Cubs or bleeds red for the Cardinals – this was a amazing discovery! I'm pretty sure that Mihai and I are the ONLY two White Sox fans in Central Illinois and from now on we're sticking together! We may be out of the American League race for this year, but we love our team anyway! Thanks a million, Mihai, for making my day!! Oh and by the way, we won the volleyball match – way to go girls!
